@Shannon Sadik I meant to add all smokers aren't the same. I have had two friends that smoke that never smelled like smoke in their homes, cars, nor clothes. I learned that one smoked after 4 years when I noticed a cigarette in his car.I complained saying that it was rude for someone to leave it in his car. He explained that the cigarette was his. That he been a smoker for over twenty years. That he always smokes outside and stays out for a while after he finish smoking to air out his clothing. I said it works. I wanted to acknowledge that there are considerate smokers.

@Shannon Sadik I do not want to rent to smokers. I'm not sure what I would do if I were you. I have however experience cleaning out an apartment which had been rented to a smoker for 5 years. The property belonged to my brother who was hospitalized and needed his rental property prepared to be re-rented.

They left butts in the carpet, cabinets, sink and etc. I opened the windows for two consecutive weeks. I pulled up the carpet (thank God there were hard wood floors underneath). I had the floors resurface. I washed the walls. In the final analysis I got rid of the smell. 

I said all of that to give you an ideal of what you may be in for. I would ask for an extra fifty for the first 18 months. If they leave before 18 months less damage. If they stay longer you will have 900.00 that can be used to clean. 

If you decide to paint the interior please spend the time to has the walls washed before painting to prevent the smoke from being trapped into the walls.
